Phasing Out SysVInit In openSUSE Raises Concerns

OpenSUSE 12.1 introduced support for systemd but it didn't defenestrate SysVinit as there are still some dependencies on this older init system. However, there's a proposal now to completely phase out SysVinit within openSUSE and it's been met by some mixed views.

Cristian Rodríguez proposed phasing out SysVinit from future openSUSE releases due to the burden in supporting two different init systems -- systemd and SysVinit. Cristian proposed a three-phase process for doing away entirely with SysVinit.
